W'Annnnes, 24%. why LQIJQS citizen of the United State residing at ends to Jersey City, in the county of Indson and nit sino Q-tste oi New Jersey, have invented mire t my new and useful Improvements-"r ining which st 1" whines of which the following is s speei 111 mm? fientiei" rnent th This invention reietes to is in flying machines an hes te provide at machine having its pienes under the control of its operator -4 n v tieziiiy 2i]. danger of accident thren gh t ring of the machine is eliminated Another and the main object oi? rentien is to provide an eerop i that its forward plane E1 d transversely of its rieet unison With its rudder so do et stability is assured sit ith the shove and other objects -nve invented the aeroplane iiieelreted use accompanying 'drswings Whieh. Figure i is a bottom pien View i oved aeroplane, Q is sid thereef "s enisrged View of s ferrmrd :isne, partially broken ewsyi iront elevation of the device Plane and means for Referring to the eeeempenying drawings, ii is a framework constructed of horisontsi hours 2, 3 i 5, 6., Z, and 8 the ietter two having upwardly curved forward ends and 10; and the Vertical reds 1i, 1%, 13., end it. The frame Wor "is hy sta 15,16 rt The horizentsirods 2 'previ ed with &0 hearings 18 on their forward ends fer curved sliding support 19 of 2 0 the verteeiiy disposed rode it ere provided with hearings for pivoteiiy supporting Et horizontal rod 21 to which iired 21, pair of eurved me 22, the forward ends ef which are "provided W. hesrings 23 in which the curved siiding support Q34: ei" the forward plane es operates w curved supports 19 and 2% being siidsthie .n he the bearings 18 and 23 permit of trans verse movement of the piene 20 on said framework and this movement is ohtein n the following manner: The plane 520 'nre-ided with a pair of eurved supper .45 and 26 transverse oisne slig tly turned upward so n By shifting to the volving it throu th may he changed on the nested by a rod 63, and the unri sition lay the cables 42 and 43, the lower ends of which are secured to the frame of the plane 89. To the rod ll is secured a frame 44 in which the steering rudder as is pivotally mounted upon a vertical cor-- trally disposed pivot rod 46, the lower end of which has a fixed pulley Wheel 47, To 1 the rod 48 of the frame 4A is secured a-cable 4.9, the portion 50 of which diverges to one side of the frame of the machine and the other portion 51 of which diverges to the other side of the frame, these cables run parallel With the frame to eyelets 52 andfiS and there turn in at right angles and the ends are secured to the post 54: on the frame of the forward plane 20, thus when the forward plane is shifted to the right, the frame 44: is automatically shifted to the left and vice verse A cable 55 is passed once around the pulley l? and has its opposing ends fixed to each of the rods 11, the first being drawn very taut, so that when the frame 4% is shifted, the cable operating on, the pulley Will revolve same and shift the angle of the rudder 45 to an angle cpposing that of the frame 4L4, except when said frame is in a position parallel the line of the machine which time the rudder Will he in line with franc-3 ate this operation being shown in the dotted lines in Fig l,

It will be seen that to shift the rudder to guide the machine to either the ight or the left it will be necessary slit" the for Ward plane in the direction vvaicr is desired to turn same t7 the end of said plane at t which the machine is turnii opposite end thereof bearing; surface toward the direction 1 which the machine is turning, prevent mg the possibility of the machine tipping ic i and assuringperfect stability. is constructed of slats'55 or to'support ,e operators an en gine (not by v pro elledi The plane has its ing therevvill be less resi co to down ward-movement .Tlne ste I trols the entire operat on at o;

The construction of the rudder as above described is such that the movement thereof toward the right or left will tend to raise the side of the machine in the direction in which the machine is being turned, this providing 'a most efficient stability device in itself.
